I enjoy the line, and I'm excited for what's coming in future Waves. But I have had times where I felt I was losing a bit of interest in the line. But that can happen with any line sometimes. And I think people right now are losing interest in the AEW line just because there hasn't been a lot of products lately. But try and remember, Jazwares is a small company, and even giant companies like Mattel are having trouble getting stuff out for lines sometimes.
For instance, I collect Mattel's Masters of the Universe lines. And they really haven't had anything new out since October/November. Just now pre orders have gone up, and new waves have started shipping to retailers and customers. And that's Mattel.
With COVID and all it caused, inflation, big companies poaching freight ships from other, smaller companies by giving more money, and then Jazwares going through the changes of having new owners, there is a lot that can slow things down.
But it seems things are getting closer to being back to how they were. March/April will have Unmatched 6 ship, and April/May we should get Unrivaled 12. Then I'd say based on how far along the figures looked at the Revolution reveals, we should see Unmatched 7 and Unrivaled 13 in June/July.
So be patient, and just buy what you want when it's available. Most importantly, have fun. If you aren't having fun collecting this line, definitely take a break. It's a hobby, not a job. It should always be fun and enjoyable.

man watching the PPV and realizing how outdated Jamie Hayters figure already is and its not even out yet really bummed me out. I'd imagine most design teams are annoyed when they have to make a female figure since they're more apt to slight appearance changes. Mox? Yeah ... we know what he'll look like five years from now lol. Statlander? Jade? Hell ... even Baker? Hope for the best.

I was all in this line when it started as well but my interest has reduced greatly. There is maybe one or two figures from each upcoming line I'll actually get. With these becoming more scare at retail as well I don't have high hopes. After Hook, Danhausen, and HOB not sure what I would get without waiting for a clearance sale. Pegs in my area are stuffed with Nyla, Archer, Retro Jericho, Trent, Chuck, Stat, and Cargill. Nothing new in ages because these won't move. Walmarts all packed with Exclusive Hangman too. Supreme Britt is even warming at one Target. Danhausen seems to have taken a while. I think he signed for aew when injured pre them acquiring roh? He should’ve gone into development right away and a figure brought out, he was super hot on the indies and while there’s still undoubtably eyes on him he seemed to not do much got a while and then had that little hookhausen thing but he hadn’t done much there im aware of so a bit of his buzz seems to have died down? He just went for the tag titles tonight and still one of the most over boys on the roster

Yeah, there's a second Hayter in the BCC-heavy wave, which I think got moved up from Unmatched 10 to 9?

The insane part of this line is that, IMO, the women get more love in the Jazwares line then they do in the actual product. They're consistently putting out one woman per wave now in both main lines, plus the awesome supreme Britt. The women may not get the most love on TV but damn if the figures aren't stepping up.
That said, the men's figures are... not the best. As said, the skintones tend to be crap, the headsculpts are garbage half the time and there's just no real pop to them anymore. They're good about the team building, I will give them that, but there's a lot left to be desired for the men in the two main lines.
Probably one reason I almost exclusively stick with the women.
